A BREATHTAKING selection of luxury homes in a unique and unspoilt location
in Kintyre on Scotland’s west coast is being offered for sale.

Sound of Kintyre at Machrihanish is an exquisite development of superior new
and refurbished homes set just three miles from Campbeltown and which enjoy the alluring climate of this magical peninsula.

Rarely do properties come on the market offering such high specification set in such a tranquil location and with prices which offer truly incredible value for money.

Developer Anglohouse Scotland Ltd has created a selection of 22 new-build and refurbished properties - five of which have been sold.

Built by renowned housebuilder Tulloch Homes, ten are new build detached three bedroom villas. A further eight are semi detached three-bedroom villas while there are two semi detached four bedroom villas. The development is completed with two five bedroom detached villas.

Skilfully designed or renovated, it is impossible to tell the difference between the new-build properties and those which have been refurbished.

Prices represent astonishing value for money with two of the three-bedroom semi detached properties on sale at a fixed price of £139,500. A five bedroom home has just sold for £235,000 with an identical property still on sale.

Bruce Cobburn of estate agency Clyde which is marketing Sound of Kintyre said: 'These properties are magnificent homes in an unspoilt location which literally has to be seen to be believed'.

'An impressive combination of new build homes and refurbished properties has created a truly superb development. The specification is outstanding and when you combine this with the location, they represent tremendous value for money in a location unmatched for scenic beauty'.

All properties come with quality carpeting, over half have conservatories and in some cases decking. Each has a garage and landscaped gardens. There are high specification bathrooms and exquisite kitchens, too.

Sound of Kintyre is accessible from anywhere in the UK as there is a local airport which has twice daily weekday services to Glasgow International airport.
